Solution: Three forces are exerted on an object placed on a tilted floor, as shown in the figure. Assuming the forces have magnitude F1 = 1N, F2 = 8N, F3 = 7 N, what is the component of the net force Fnet = F1

Problem

Three forces are exerted on an object placed on a tilted floor, as shown in the figure. Assuming the forces have magnitude F1 = 1N, F2 = 8N, F3 = 7 N, what is the component of the net force Fnet = F1 + F2 + F3 parallel to the floor?(Take the +i axis parallel to the plane and pointing downhill.)
